Giant NY buck: 205" typical
 
This buck was killed by Dave Edwards in Cortland County, NY on the final weekend of the regular firearms season. The deer reportedly scores 205 gross / 185 net. Looks like it'll be this year's biggest typical in NY. Congrats to Dave on tagging one heck of a NY buck!!!

:jaw:










No kidding, though-that is impressive; on the last weekend no less!!

Beautiful. Too bad regarding the deductions tho (if the green scores were accurate).

WOW,, Nice Looks like a brother
 
Hey WNY Bowhunter the big buck you listed on 11-30-10 looks like it could be a brother to this one...
I hunted Steuben County this year also , We do see some nice bucks but not quite in that caliber....
He must be all bone ... Nice buck...

Pygmy 12-21-2010 07:05 PM

I see a 7x6 typical mainframe with 3 abnormals? I don't think that the beam is broken either, looks like he had some funky little min-crabclaw thing going on.

Yep, I'm quite familiar with the B&C scoring method too. Still don't see why the "G2" on the right would be considered an abnormal (weird looking yes).

Are you familiar with the hunter and the deer other than on this thread? I justed posted the numbers that I was given.

BuckAlley 12-22-2010 04:58 PM

20" deductions, right side weak, G2's off. Blah, Blah, Blah. Net scoring is all for symetrics, and evenness. I say its crap. A Buck is what it is, and thats alot of darn nice bone on his head. I would careless if its symetrical thats a darn nice giant that would make any hunter very proud. Its a great representation of what NY is capable of, and even better it came from a different county than the well known big buck ones.

Sweet Buck!! That must have looked huge coming thru the woods. Now if I can just figure out where the Top Trail Tower is.... Congrats Dave Edwards!!

wow...great deer

Was the green score done by a B&C measureer? if so can you post the score sheet?I'm tellin ya its a great buck, a buck of a lifetime even, I just see more than 20" of deductions is all.RR

No, I don't know the guy or have a copy of the score sheet. A buddy of mine on another forum that's from Cortland County says that this score is coming from an official NYSBBc scorer. Beyond that, I've not nothing to back up these figures. Still one heck of a deer no matter what numbers get attached to his headgear.

Did you see this bruiser that I posted?

:violin:Awesome buck, wish they would grow them that large here in Northern NY!

Lance_23 12-23-2010 07:02 AM

hey no negatives here, Its a Awsome Buck, and i dont think many would pas him up if that monster walked through where they were, Great harvest and congrats to the harvester!!

WestVirginiaBrent 12-23-2010 01:12 PM

I would pass him up, too many deductions and a broken tip.











Yeah right, that buck is too die for. I keep hoping that "next year will be the year...." and that I'll get a Booner, and I've been hoping that for 21 years now.

WV Hunter 12-23-2010 06:46 PM

Nets are for fish :D

That thing is a hammer....congrats to him!

Pro-Line 12-24-2010 03:05 AM

I'm not too keen on the coloration of the left side...LOL


That's a monster.

Outdrdave 12-24-2010 03:12 AM

Giant. Congratulations to the lucky hunter. Bet you couldnt wipe the smile off his face with a 2x4 ! Impressive

RWK 12-25-2010 11:09 AM

Damm! Very nice

BarnesX.308 12-26-2010 05:28 AM

Hey RR: Maybe he shot it at 1300 yards and had a hard time field judging from that distace. :D:D

WNY Bowhunter 02-14-2011 10:26 AM

Just an update to this thread:

On February 9,2010... Mike Ali, Jim Dowd and Gary Dennis of the NYS Big Buck Club panel scored Dave Edwards Cortland County buck. Dave's huge NYS buck scored a whopping 182-0 B&C as a typical with an amazing gross score of 206-0 B&C. The Edwards Buck has 13 typical points and 3 non-typical points and looks to be NY's biggest 2010 typical buck and the #4 all-time
